2 more years!

The living legend

For two weeks in June the world's focus is on a small island in the Irish Sea. The Isle of Man TT is the most incredible race that reduces riders and on lookers to their most basic instincts. It is a race that is regularly touched by tragedy where riders die in pursuit of going faster than most believe is possible. John McGuinness has seen both sides of the coin at the TT with 23 victories offering the highpoint in contrast to the number of friends and rivals that have met their end on the roads.

The new NEOTEC II

The new NEOTEC II is the redesigned successor of the very successful NEOTEC. Every aspect of the helmet was improved, starting with the optimized visor system, over the ventilation to the integration of a communication system. All with the goal that you will be able to "merge with nature" even better.

The new VFX-WR

For almost a decade the Shoei VFX-W defined a new design language for off-road helmets. It became an icon of the sport and was copied by many companies. It was not easy to renew this exceptional helmet, but with the new VFX-WR Shoei set again a new benchmark for the functionality, the comfort and also the design of state of the art motor helmets.
